Famara Diedhiou was back in action for Bristol City against Derby County

“He’s a top striker. His hold-up play, his one-touch lay-offs, speed, his turns, he’s an aerial threat and he’s something we’ve been missing,” Steele told the City website.

“The club paid a lot for him in the summer and he’s an important player. The physios have done brilliantly to get him back this quickly and that’s encouraging for the fans and I’m sure the manager will be thinking the same.”

Reflecting on the incident, Steele said: “My opinion is that it looks like Aden made contact but I think Cameron let himself down in the theatrics after.

“I think the referee might have awarded a penalty if he hadn’t gone down like he did. I think he could have gone down a bit more graciously. But that’s a tough call for the referee and it’s an important one.”
